Geeky Gifts for New Dads, The Goodfather
The Moose at Dr.MOZ writes "The Goodfather, 'for the baby he can't refuse.'
The Goodfather is a custom-boxed CD-ROM that teaches new dads hundreds of baby skills and baby related definitions through a fun parody of a famous American gangster epic (The Godfather). The baby/parenting topics in The Goodfather CD-ROM were selected for men by experienced dads and grandfathers, and edited by licensed nurse-midwives to ensure the material is medically sound.
In addition to the hundreds of baby skills lessons and definitions, The Goodfather also has a Baby Name Book with approximately 15,000 baby names and a Baby Card Maker which allows new dads to make and print their own baby cards. New dads choose from dozens of "new dad" card-types with provided art, or they are able to import JPGs to create their own customized baby cards! The Goodfather runs on both Windows® and Macintosh® systems and is proving to be the next 'must have' gift for the sometimes ignored new dad on the baby shower list."
Yay, someone is going to get this for me. I know it. I'll get it as a fucking xmas gift, which is annoying, since I do not celebrate xmas, and have asked all of my friends and family to stop buying me things. All that has done is encouraged shitty gifts I didn't want as opposed to just gifts that I just didn't want.
Now, they have yet another cutesy baby gift for the dad to be. ATTENTION PLANET! Not everyone wants to be a parent, I sure as hell don't. See this bill? Its for a vasectomy, I had one, I have zero offspring, and I intend to keep it that way, and still be able to fuck like a lemming. This is not a phase, this is not going to change in a few years. This is a life decision that no one respects, no one listens to, and no one will leave me the fuck alone over, because we live in a nation that is fucking baby crazy. If you aren't breeding, your obviously unhappy and need some happiness and a few babies in your life.
Babies products as far as the eye can see, babies babies babies babies! Everyone loves babies, right?! Fuck babies, barely edible, all you can do is stew them, I represent the "Stop sending me pictures of your dumb ass kids" crowd, only thing I'd hate more than your kids would be my own.
My point? Easy, this is NOT news for nerds, and is certainely doesn't matter, now get it off the front page and into the dumpster where it belongs with the rest of the damned babies. World is overpopulated as is, last thing we should be doing is encouraging more of these morons to have big, happy families, of well adjusted children who grow up to be pacifist hippies who don't even have the common courtesy of going to war and dying. Trim the fat people! Trim the fat!
